Whether you find yourself caught in a cycle of overthinking throughout the day, or you spend a good chunk of your day astral traveling to different dimensions, odds are you are spending a lot more time in your mind than in your body! Because of this, most of us can benefit from spending extra time anchoring into our bodies and supporting our lower chakras – this is why I’m extremely diligent about getting in my daily grounding practice! If done correctly, grounding can help you balance out your chakras, support your overall energy body, and help you tap into your intuitive gifts.
You might be thinking, “But, if I want to open up more intuitively, why would I spend more time on my lower chakras?” It might seem counterintuitive at first, but the more grounded and energetically balanced your lower chakras are, the more your upper chakras will open up, and the more connected you will be. As much as we like to spend time in our upper chakras tapping in, it’s equally important that we spend time bringing ourselves back down to Earth to achieve balance among all of our energy centers.
Today, I’m covering four simple methods for grounding that you can start to incorporate into your daily practice:
1. Kick Off Your Shoes
Throughout the day, we’re exposed to tons of EMFs and positive ions from technology, which can throw our bodies out of balance on a cellular level. The ground and soil, on the other hand, are packed with negative ions. Spending time outside with your feet in the grass allows you to soak up these negative ions, neutralize free radicals, and balance out your energy body. If you don’t have easy access to a patch of grass outside, you can also buy yourself a grounding mat (I personally love using this one!).
2. Use Grounding Crystals
One of my favorite tools for enhancing my daily grounding practice is crystals! Tiger’s Eye, Shungite, Black Tourmaline, and Hematite are all great for supporting the lower chakras. You can wear these crystals (I like to wear Hematite as a ring!), or have them with you during your daily grounding practice.
3. Eat Grounding Foods
Whenever I find myself feeling “floaty” and ungrounded, I naturally gravitate towards more dense foods. Animal proteins (organic, grass-fed varieties) and root vegetables can be extremely grounding, so try to incorporate more of these into your diet if you feel like you need the extra support!
4. Practice Visualizations
Another easy grounding method you can do from anywhere is visualization. I like to sit in a quiet space, close my eyes, and imagine roots coming out of my feet and anchoring me down through all of the layers of the earth, into the core. You can also visualize heavy, gold chains wrapped around your waist and shoulders pulling you down into the earth.
If you want to maximize the energetic benefits of grounding, I recommend practicing at least one of these methods every single day! I’m excited to see how things shift and your intuition opens up as you start to make it a daily practice.

Are you doing all of the journaling, meditating, and visualizations, but you’re still feeling stuck and unable to manifest what you really want? Even if you’re dedicated to your daily manifestation practice, you might be missing some key mindset shifts that will allow you to call in what you really desire. I see this time and time again with my clients – people know what they want, but they don’t always know how to embody the version of themselves that is truly ready to receive it!
Today, I’m sharing seven traits to embody to manifest what you want (I cover these traits even more in-depth on my podcast episode, Key Traits of a Powerful Manifestor!):
1. Adaptable
Are you hung up on the “how” or “when” of your manifestation? Trying to force what you want to manifest is fighting the natural flow of the universe. When we’re willing to shift and change, we allow any signs and manifestations to come through exactly how they’re meant to – which can often be different than what we expect! Be open and trusting that no matter which direction you’re headed, it’s all still on the path of receiving what you want in divine timing. You don’t have to understand how it will come in in order to receive it – let the universe deliver it to you however it’s meant to be!
2. Playful
Manifesting what you want shouldn’t feel like a chore – it should be fun! Embrace curiosity and follow the clues that the universe drops into your lap. When we have fun and embrace the current moment, we shift into our feminine energy of receiving.. This allows us to observe more signs and become an energetic match for the universe to send more our way. Integrate more play into your life and see what it brings you! Trusting
3. Trusting
When we get caught in the mindset that our manifestation practices are “not working”, we throw ourselves into a fear state – and this blocks us from being able to receive what we want. Be firm in the belief that you know it’s already coming to you, and that it will drop into your life exactly when it’s supposed to. Practice patience and know that any obstacles that pop up are all part of the journey to receiving what you want.
4. Decisive
Trusting your intuition and being decisive are key to signaling to the universe that you know what you want. Indecisiveness usually comes from the fear of deciding incorrectly, which means we’re not allowing ourselves to trust the journey. On the other hand, when you make decisions confidently, you instantaneously shift your frequency to align with what you’re calling in. Embodying decisiveness and trust in your own intuition sends a clear message to the universe that you’re aligned with what you want to call in – which adds even more energy to the timeline of receiving what you want!
5. Authentic
When you truly embody who you want to be and are honest with yourself about what you want, you make yourself an energetic match to receive it – and this sends a strong signal to the universe! When we allow our egos to take over, we tend to call in people and situations who are vibrating at the frequency we’re emitting. By honoring our own needs & wants and refusing to settle, we tell the universe that we know we’re worthy of receiving what we desire. When you show up as the clearest version of you, you send a clear signal to the universe about what to send your way.
6. Expressive
When you allow yourself to actually feel your feelings, not only are you being more authentic with yourself, but you also allow yourself to release any emotional blocks and limiting beliefs that could be getting in the way of becoming a vibrational match for what you want. It’s also important to embody right now whatever it is you want to feel when you receive what it is you’re manifesting. If you can fully embrace the feelings of love, abundance, and gratitude, you’ll instantly raise your vibration and make yourself an energetic match for more. When you feel your feelings, you release any low frequency energies that are still stored in your body, and releasing those allows you to return to your naturally high-vibe state.
7. Abundant
When we try to manifest from a place of desperation, we’re embodying an energy of lack – this is the opposite of what we want to show the universe if we’re trying to call in more! When you allow yourself to feel complete with everything you already have, you raise your vibration and you tell the universe, “I am so grateful for all of my abundance, and I want even more of it!” Spend time each day appreciating what you do have – it can be as simple as a clean pair of clothes or the ability to breathe in fresh air on your walk.
By embodying all of these traits, you’ll raise your vibration, amplify your manifestation practice, and set yourself up to successfully manifest what you want.

With everything going on in the world, it’s more important than ever to protect our energy. Nowadays, we are so attached to other people energetically – through social media, being around others in public, the news, etc. – and it’s important to clear the energies that don’t serve us (we don’t always realize how much they can affect us!). This is especially important if you’re an empath (like me), since we can deeply feel other people’s emotions.
These energetic attachments can show up in a variety of different ways. We can be attached to people, places, or situations (like past events). Some of these cords might serve us, while others might not – so it’s important to tune into how they make you feel. When we cut the cords that are no longer for our highest good, we can feel lighter, clearer, and more in tune with our own emotions. It’s important to remember that cutting cords doesn’t necessarily mean ending a relationship (although it can help you move on from old relationships), but rather releasing responsibility for that person’s energy / emotions.
Because I work with so many different clients and energetic beings, it’s essential for me to clear my energy – that way I can identify what energy is actually mine, and show up fully for others. This is why cord-cutting has become a non-negotiable daily practice of mine!
In addition to using Ahai™ 7D energy healing on myself, here are some of my favorite methods for cutting cords:
1. Call in Archangel Michael.
Archangel Michael is a powerful protector who can help us set boundaries and cut cords that are no longer serving us. He can often show up as the color blue or purple, or as a warm / hot sensation. When you call him in, you can ask him to use his golden sword or shears to remove any cords that are no longer for your highest good. Simply set the intention, get into receiving mode, and notice what comes up for you. You can also visualize the cords being cut in your mind’s eye!
Tip: the number three is extremely powerful, so I recommend repeating this intention three times.
Once you’ve removed any energy that no longer serves you, it’s important to replace it with healing energy. I love to visualize a bright, golden light filling me up and patching up any holes!
2. Take advantage of the healing properties of water.
One of my favorite ways to cut cords is by using water – I do this daily in the shower! Water is such a powerful element that can work for us in so many ways (if you haven’t already watched my YouTube video on this, check it out here).
When I’m in the shower, I simply set the intention for the water to clear away any cords that are not for my highest good, then I imagine them dissolving away and falling off my body. You can also charge a bath with the same intention, and visualize any cut cords flowing away as you drain the tub.
3. Use a selenite wand.
If you tune into your energy body and notice that a certain area feels blocked, an easy way to clear the energy is by using a selenite wand. You can wave the selenite wand over that specific area (or your entire body!), while setting the intention that it’s cutting any cords that are no longer serving you. This is a really simple way to clear your energy if you’re jumping around between different people or settings all day!
4. Do the deeper work.
A lot of my clients come to me asking for help removing certain cords (whether it’s with a parent, and ex, or an old friend), but it’s important to do the emotional work that’s required first, before you can be fully ready to remove the cord. Shadow work, trauma healing, and inner child healing are all methods that can help you dig deeper into the energetic roots of these attachments, so you can learn whatever lessons they are meant to teach you before you are ready to clear them.
If you’ve tried these methods and are still noticing recurring cords that you’re having trouble cutting, don’t be afraid to reach out to your spirit guides and ask for help! They are always here to help and support you.

If you’re able to score a well-known guest on your show, it can be an incredible opportunity to expand your reach and draw attention to your podcast! However, it’s important to keep in mind that the more popular the guest is, the more interviews they have under their belt – and the last thing that they (or their audience!) want is for another interview to sound exactly the same as the previous ones.
After hosting a number of renowned doctors, industry experts, and iTunes Top 50 podcast hosts as guests on my own show, I’ve learned how essential it is to make sure that your interview with a well-known guest stands out – that way you capture both your audience’s attention and your guest’s audience, too!
The main question you should be asking yourself in preparation for your interview is why your audience (and your guest’s) should listen to YOUR podcast interview with them over all of the other ones – or even after the other ones. How can you be sure you’re delivering new information or putting an exciting new spin on your questions?
Today, I’m breaking down three tips for asking your podcast guest engaging questions that can make your interview stand out.
1. Do your research.
Before brainstorming questions to ask your podcast guest, it’s important to listen to other interviews they’ve done in the past – this will help give you a good idea of what they’ve already been asked! If there’s something in particular they’re well-known for and get asked about ALL the time, try finding a different angle to take when asking them about it on your own show, or ask a follow-up question to something they’ve already answered on another show. It doesn’t hurt to make a list of the common questions you hear them being asked during their other interviews, either! Taking the time to do your research before the recording is key if you want your interview to sound new, original, and captivating to both audiences.
2. Use your own curiosity to inspire new questions.
After you’ve done your research, ask yourself what you still want to know! What talking points can you dive even deeper into? What questions were they asked on other podcasts that sparked new questions for you? Write them down!
You’re probably interviewing this particular guest because they offer a valuable or interesting message for your audience, so make sure you keep this in mind, too. Ask yourself what your audience would benefit from learning or wants to know about (you can even poll your listeners for questions!). Knowing how your guest connects to your niche and your audience can help you approach your interview from a relevant angle. For example, if your niche is technology and social media and you interview a famous beauty influencer, you can focus your questions around what programs and apps they used to build their brand.
3. Don’t be afraid to shake things up.
While being respectful is important, don’t be afraid to ask out-of-the-box (but appropriate) questions that will add some shock value and excite your audience. If you’re not sure whether you should ask certain questions, don’t be afraid to reach out to your guest beforehand and ask if any topics are off-limits!
Your podcast guest wants to have fun during this experience, too – and asking creative questions can lead your guest to share new information or funny stories that grab your listeners and help your episode stand out. There’s nothing better than when a guest says, “Good question – no one has ever asked me that before!”

If you’ve been to any of my Ahai™ 7D Healing Circles or Channel Collective 7D Drop-In Healings, you probably have a good idea of how beneficial (and transformative!) receiving energy healing can be.
A lot of clients ask me if there’s anything special they need to do on their end before receiving energy healing. The shorter answer? No – just relax and be ready to receive! However, if you really want to maximize how much you get out of each session, there are a few things you can do to help yourself prepare.
1.Be open and ready to receive.
If you show up to your energy healing session feeling closed-off and questioning whether the healing is going to “work”, you’re already blocking yourself from receiving its full benefits! It’s important to be both mentally and physically ready to receive your healing. Some exercises that can help you feel into what intentions you want to set for your sessions are meditating and journaling. I always tell my clients to say out loud or in their heads, “I am open to receive,” when we first begin, because this helps them energetically open up. Never underestimate the power of intention! If it’s your first time receiving energy healing, find out how your specific session will be facilitated to help you feel more confident going into it.
Don’t be afraid to communicate with your energy healer if you’re feeling nervous or closed off! Letting them know how you’re feeling allows them to work with you and adjust their practice accordingly.
2. Fully embrace the process.
Again – if you come to your session unprepared to embrace the energy healing, you aren’t going to benefit fully from it! If you have any questions or concerns about the session, have an open conversation with your energy healer beforehand so they can outline everything you can expect! Embracing the process also means releasing any judgment or fear around the energy healing, so make sure to arrive at your session with an open mind. Remember that every session is unique, and there is no “right” or “wrong” experience. It can be helpful to set the intention that the session will be exactly what you need for your highest and best at that time.
3. Don’t come in a rush.
This might not come as a surprise, but you’re not going to get the most out of your energy healing session if it’s rushed. It’s important to set aside enough time on a day where you aren’t booked up with other commitments to have your energy healing session. This can help you feel less stressed, more receptive, and better able to focus on the energy you are receiving. If you book your energy healing session and other plans pop up right before or after, you might want to reschedule your session for a day when you won’t feel pressed for time. Getting your session on your calendar in advance can help you make sure you keep a more open schedule that day. A lot of energy healers – including myself – recommend setting aside extra time after the session to rest and integrate! It’s important you allow yourself to be fully present in the experience, without being worried about what happened before or what your next plans are.
4. Tell your energy healer about any specific things you’d like to work on.
Your energy healer can target specific areas or blockages with their intention – but it’s best that you communicate anything specific you’d like them to focus on beforehand. Some things you can ask your energy healer to work on are past traumas, illnesses, physical injuries, or emotional blocks. Remember – your healer is here to help you, not to judge you! Don’t be afraid to be completely honest with them in order to get the most out of your session. If you’re hoping they’ll support you in a specific way, make sure that intention is known to them!
5. Take care of yourself after your session.
A lot of people underestimate the physical effects that energy healing can have on the body! After your session, it’s not uncommon to feel tired. (However, some people feel more energized.) Make sure to get rest, drink plenty of water, and fully integrate the healing you just received. This is another reason why it’s important to schedule your healing session on a day where you aren’t packed with to-dos! After your session is over, I strongly recommend taking a few minutes to simply rest and allow things to settle instead of rushing to your next task.
